if he suited up, we could make he and Marquis Colston wrestle midfield at halftime for the D-II wrestling national championship!

I don't see sitting Gettis or LaFell in favor of Armanti. He is a PROJECT. A reciever drafted in the top ten of the first round is not considered a bust by anyone that knows how long it takes to properly develop a receiver, in the first year. (Two years is the norm from everything I have ever read for preparing a receiver to be a contributor) I'd say 1 year for a first rounder is reasonable. A few rare guys step up in the first year. Gettis is a developmental freak at this point and he really hasn't done much. If Armanti isn't producing after his second year then...meh. After his third year you can start calling him a bust and not sound foolish. This would still be true if he were a second round pick like so many of you like to call him. Strangely I have not heard him called a second rounder by anyone outside this board, not ever. If he develops quickly and puts on some weight in the offseason then he will be likely be way ahead of any receiver available in the second next year. To put this in perspective; can anyone think of a DE in this years draft that is more NFL ready than E. Brown this year so far? Will Armanti be a bust? Maybe, but not this year.

The only reason I care about this is they traded next years 2nd round pick for Amanti!!! and that is going to be a high second round pick. I just dont understand how you give that up for a guy who is not even good enough to dress up on Sunday's. Did Fox/Hurney really miss on this one that bad?? I know he is project but again, for what you gave up for him he should be at least good enough to dress and get on the field some. I hope this pick works out in the long run.

He will be activated at some point this season no doubt. Last week was not a good time for him given the conditions and it being in front of home town fans which can create added pressure. I am thinking that his first opportunity for playing time will be on the road in a less hostile environment than what we will face this weekend.

when the kid cost you a 2nd rounder he needs to get out there ASAP and show us what he's got. I don't know how many 2nd rounders aren't active when their team is in major need at their position...but like someone said. i'd rather just think about us drafting hardy in AE's spot and AE in Hardy's spot...i sleep better at night that way

This in my opinion is the biggest problem with the Panthers. Us. Homefield disadvantage. We has it. I used to say we have the worst fans in the league outside of Philly. I was wrong. We are collectively much, much worse.

    • Pytor kochetkov assigned to Chicago for conditioning stint. Wonder if he gets playing time in the playoffs if Bussi or Freddy flounders 
    • What specific LT at 19 are all of the OT Stan’s wanting? Be specific. All have issues and are not guaranteed to improve the OL.. The chances of one of these LT’s who are projected at 19 (Proctor, Lomu) being a bust is much higher than a guy like Lemon/Concepcion imo. Do you really want to draft a kid who has weight struggles along with lateral movement issues? And the other who was a shitty run blocker vs Big 12 competition? Morgan and Co. want to see how Rasheed Walker plays.. They also want to see how Icky’s rehab goes.. There’s a lot of  “wait and see at OT”  We don’t have the luxury for our 1st round pick being a backup. We lack top end talent. Morgan and the others have made it known they want to win now. For that reason, I’m almost positive we punt on OT in the first this year and worry about it next year in the first round if need be.    Thieneman would be ideal. He’s a natural “center field” safety with great coverage skills. For the posters who want trade up for Downs…Do you realize he struggles in coverage? He’s more of a box safety. We already have two of those players.. I wouldn’t mind trading in front of the Vikings for the Thieneman though.. Next need would be DT, but I don’t see the value there at 19.. Same with edge. WR at #19 is very realistic. Who would improve this team more than Lemon/Concepcion? You could argue a slot CB, but the value isn’t great there either. People tend to forget the Seattle Seahawks game.. Yes BY sucked, but no one was getting open.. We could use a quick savvy route runner to beat man coverage. TMAC and Coker are great, but consistently creating separation vs Man Coverage is not their strength.
